Well, hip-hop/skater look is the one overwhelmengly popular here, and it's still a fashion, at least among youth.

Scandinavia passed this "fashion" years ago

Btw, what not fashion in America is still a "fashion" in other countries. You can't deny influence of american music on "dressing code" among different subcultures. For ex., grundge.

Things Japanese or faux Japanese seems to pop up a lot too.

Conservatively, over 20 of these 36 have "Asian eyes" or other features to put it impolitely. It's difficult because some are smiling. I wonder if the girl at the far bottom left is really Russian.

[Exeter]

I see 4. Even that is questionable and might not be from Mongoloid.

2nd row - 2nd from left
3rd row - 1st from left (could be eyemakeup)
4th row - 2nd from left (the smile distorts facial features)
5th row - 4th from left (her eyes remind me of a Latvian girl I saw working in Riga airport)

I put blue circles on those suspect of "Asiatic" (any term is going to be loaded). I think this is fair:



EDIT:

For example, 4th row, guy 3rd from left. You see nothing there?

3rd row, guy 2nd from left. Etc etc etc.

[Menydh]

Basically, anyone Baltid-looking is suspect of being "Asian"?

You know what I thing that it is a pattern in how you've picked up the individuals? With some excepction, rounder faces over longer ones.

I didn't say Mongoloid. A small minority of such features in Eastern Europe would be from direct Mongoloid parentage. Rather, these features arrived a long time ago and there has been re-selection towards a European standard from a mixed base (still largely Europid of course). For example, I wouldn't envisage such "imbalance" arising from French mixing with Iraqis, because both nations consist of Caucasians.

It makes no sense that ultimately the source of those features is not Mongoloid, whichever label is used (Baltid, East-Baltid and so on).

[Leland Gaunt]

Many of them have clear Tatar influence. I also see possible Chuvash, Udmurt. Every guy with black hair and fuzzy eyebrows is by definition a minority mix. In other words it's a melting pot of different minorities within the country - it explains why some people are extremly blonde and others are not - the first ones are not (less) mixed.

I don't believe that these looks..

... are anything but Eastern European.

Well, the funny thing here is that I'm sure that, were they not known to be Russians, except from the 1st and 3rd on the second row the other four would have been most probably classified as Alpinids by most.

It makes no sense that ultimately the source of those features is not Mongoloid, whichever label is used (Baltid, East-Baltid and so on).

I see. What about this fellow?


This only confirms my believe in that there is not one European [source] race, but different European [source] races. Or, rather, different Europid [source] races, until we define "Europe".

I think you should try to post pictures of college/university students. They have developed more and are therefore better classication subjects.

Can you find pictures of south Russian regions?

Good thread. It's hard to say much from such a juvenile faces. South-Russians would be interesting indeed. We rarely see them here up north while most of the visitors seem to be from St. Pete's area.

Nothing dramatically different, Russians seem to look pretty much the same throughout the country.

2nd row, in the middle: something in her face reminds me of Savitri Devi (french-greek descent).
